Review
Positive feedback loop between dietary nitrate intake and oral health.
Nutrition Research 2023 July
Nitrate was once thought to be an inert end-product of endothelial-derived nitric oxide (NO) heme oxidation; however, this view has been radically revised over the past few decades. Following the clarification of the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway, accumulated evidence has shown that nitrate derived from the diet is a supplementary source of endogenous NO generation, playing important roles in a variety of pathological and physiological conditions. However, the beneficial effects of nitrate are closely related with oral health, and oral dysfunction has an adverse effect on nitrate metabolism and further impacts overall systemic health. Moreover, an interesting positive feedback loop has been identified between dietary nitrate intake and oral health. Dietary nitrate's beneficial effect on oral health may further improve its bioavailability and promote overall systemic well-being. This review aims to provide a detailed description of the functions of dietary nitrate, with an emphasis on the key role oral health plays in nitrate bioavailability. This review also provides recommendations for a new paradigm that includes nitrate therapy in the treatment of oral diseases.
